About God/ Noting the recent statement by the Pope of the Catholics that there should be no real problem for good atheists in getting to heaven

One can spend a lifetime in pursuit of God through or outside the various religions and the good scientific atheists will agree that it is impossible to prove the non-existence of God anyway...it's a crazy thing to try to do.

Should there be a God, and I highly doubt the existence of a personal God who is always in our hearts and minds, even though it would be kind of nice if one existed, for life is sometimes very lonely, albeit just a loving God who never interferes etc...but if one does exist then I would expect such a being to be rather bright and open-minded.

     
Yes, bright and open minded and generally happy with the work done, with a broad sense of humour, although noting some big errors of judgment...with the notion that God never makes mistakes a bit of a silly arrogance; still, a Great Being not living in the past...thus a bit like....hmm....a bit like.... me; come to think about it...

I find the great books of the great religions far too serious in so many ways. Look around, there is real humour in the world, yet none of this seems to be reflected in any of the great books of God at all. Being so serious all the time, eon upon eon, goodness me, where is the fun in that? Fun sparks the Creative far more than righteous role and misery.

I would imagine that if God was a worldly type King then he would have, at his right hand, not Jesus or Mohammed etc but rather  the court Jester as his best adviser about these quirky difficult yet sometimes lovely and oft times meaningful humans...these creatures, many with big brains and big hearts yet nothing much that they do with them apart from making up really silly religions.
